It has been a long time since I wrote to you on Sunday night. I’ve been studying Nehemiah since January 13th, and I am only on chapter 4. It has been a slow, in-depth, verse-by-verse adventure that has been so good. I have learned so much, and in many ways this study has helped me through some frustrating times. I believe it will help you as it has helped me. I am sharing today comes from
Many years ago, when I was a much younger mom, I wrote this piece for Homeschool Subjects. Today, as a mom who has raised all her children and now gets the joy of watching them walk as adults—and even love on grandchildren—I can honestly say: I believe this message more wholeheartedly than ever. I’m sharing this from a much younger version of me… but with a deeper, richer conviction shaped by years of seeing God’s
God’s plans for His people are so good… and they haven’t changed since the beginning of time. This truth has been settling deep into my heart lately as I’ve been reading through Jeremiah. Israel had drifted. Their hearts had grown cold. Their leaders were wicked. The culture was a mess. Idol worship was common. Sin was blatant. Judgment was coming — and honestly, judgment was warranted. The people of God were about to be carried
Last night, all our kids stopped by to see us. Once again, the house lit up with activity and laughter, and at one point, I looked through the kitchen into the family room to see David lying on his side playing with our 7-month-old granddaughter. My heart was filled with gratitude, and a smile spread across my face as I watched them play with a toy and grin at each other. This new season of
Some of the best ideas in life come quietly. They don’t make a big splash, they don’t feel world-changing at first — but years later, you realize how deeply they shaped your family. That’s exactly how it was with one of the best ideas I ever had as a mom — birthday dates. When my kids were preteens, I started taking each one of them out for a one-on-one birthday date. Just the two of us.
Can I let you in on a little secret? Every homeschool parent (yes, every single one) reaches that point where the shiny new plan doesn’t feel so shiny anymore. Maybe the curriculum that looked amazing in July feels overwhelming now that September is here. Maybe your schedule seemed manageable—until real life showed up with laundry, meals, and tired kids. Or maybe you just feel like you’re juggling too many good things all at once. (I spoke with
Like a hidden tumor, small struggles in family life cause outsized pain. Here’s how to stop ignoring them and find healing, hope, and freedom at home.
I have spent so many Sunday nights planning and looking ahead, trying to wrap my head around all that the kids and I needed to do during the week to come. It seemed like there was always a mix of anticipation and nervous energy. I was thinking about that and about all of you tonight, as I know that a new week is ahead, and for many, Back2Homeschool season is officially here. It’s easy it is
There’s a room in the front of our house that’s known as the “fancy office.” I can’t remember how it got that name or who coined it, but to this day that’s what it’s called although it is neither fancy nor an office. But over the years, it became a sacred space where some of the most meaningful moments of discipleship happened in our family, and it played an important role in our school days as well.
Last week, we rented a house at Murrells Inlet, SC. The waves from the Atlantic were only a short walk away which was great since I consider myself to be a world-class body-surfer. The waves are my favorite part of the beach, and I had ample opportunity to enjoy them with my son-in-law. On Thursday, I woke up to a dense fog rising off the water. We couldn’t see the beach from the house, and
